OIL PAINTING WITH RICK WORTHINGTON
The third in our GEORGIAN BAY series celebrating the work of members of the Group of 7, AFTER VARLEY is an intermediate oil painting workshop for artists with some oil experience. Create a master copy of Frederick Varley’s 1921 masterpiece, Stormy Weather, Georgian Bay.
This iconic painting captures the rugged essence of the Canadian Shield with its windswept pines, churning waves, and dynamic sky.
Copying a master’s work is one of the most effective ways to deepen your understanding of technique and style.
In this class, you’ll learn how to simplify bold shapes to build a strong composition, capture the dramatic atmosphere of stormy skies and water, mix a harmonious palette of cool tones, and use brushwork to add texture while maintaining Harris’s distinctive stylized aesthetic. With personalized guidance and demonstrations, you’ll gain valuable skills to enhance your painting practice.
Please note, there is a $25 Kit fee payable to Rick in cash at the start of class.
All materials are included in the kit fee; oil paint, canvas, odourless solvent, reference image, grey scale for colour mixing, brushes etc.
